Option 1 will be sufficient for Starcraft II at medium settings. I do believe starcraft II is mostly GPU dependent so I don't think i5-750 will make much difference. But if you've got the money, just get i5-750.
There's basically no way to get 4ghz quad stable on low budget. Q8200/Q6600 needs expensive cooling and a lot of luck to do it, x4 620 has no chance. However if your budget isn't that tight I would go for i5.
It's up to you whether your anxious enough to go through all that work. I would do it if I have enough time just to see how your new HSF compare to the stock.
Ahh I understand now.. but which Vcore do people refer to when talking about voltage? Vcore in BIOS or CPUZ (assuming CPUZ is reporting the correct voltage the processor is actually receiving)?
Speedstep enabled, I see no reason to turn it off because my system is 9h prime stable.
The voltage my BIOS shows is 1.325, CPUZ shows 1.264 at idle and 1.20 at load. Which one do people refer to when they talk about their voltage?
So how do I figure out the correct voltage on my Q6600? I set my voltage to 1.325 in the BIOS but it reports 1.264 in CPUZ at idle (6 multiplier), 1.2 with load (9 multiplier)
which is right?
I just removed the stock HSF on my Q6600, it basically came right off. If your having this much trouble, you are probably doing it wrong. Are you sure all 4 pins came off?
